Happy Thanksgiving Day! Starting a morning report with info and updates.

*Here’s our list of who was planning to be open in West Seattle today, coffee/groceries/restaurants; a few other Thanksgiving Day activities are on our West Seattle Holidays page. (10:30 AM note: Tweaked the list thanks to e-mail from Luke – Freshy’s is closed; Java Bean’s open.)

*Metro is on a Sunday schedule and snow routing; the Water Taxi is NOT running (nor are its shuttle buses).

*The cars out front have a new, light layer of snow, but currently, only the occasional flake is falling. Warmer than 24 hours earlier – 30 degrees at Boeing Field at 6 am; here’s the current Winter Weather Advisory. If you do have to drive today, please share info if you can, for others who have to hit the road for relatives’ homes, last-minute grocery shopping, etc. No major problems reported so far.

*Free community Thanksgiving dinners: Noon-3 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy, courtesy of Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering (WSB sponsor), 9131 California SW; 2 pm-5 pm at West Seattle Eagles, 4426 California SW.

Heads-up, especially to those that have/are planning on heading out from home today might want to keep in contact with a neighbor that is staying home; glancing over the SFD 911 log at around 8:10 a.m., it looks like there’s already been 9 or 10 “Water Job Minor” calls since Midnight.

This is probably because it’s “warming up”, and some of the frozen/cracked pipe incidents don’t show up until the pipes begin to thaw.

its warmer ! its warmer! its warmer! …….ish.
I’m so glad. My old house just isn’t insulated well enough for the extended freeze. I hope everyone living outside finds someplace warm to be with friendly faces and a nice meal.
